Cleaning engine while out the car???

Not sure if this was ask before or not but im nervous dont want to mess anything up.so heres the nooby question.....

I just pulled my motor out and planning on rebuilding it wit all high performance parts but as of rite now the motor is mad fukken dirty, and i mean dirty!. So question is can i soak the whole motor up wit like acid or engine degreeser and wen done cleaning can i just throw water on it, plus i took the tranny of the motor already and the inside got mad dirt but other then the dirt it looks fine....so is it ok to soak dat shit up or not..or i have to be careful on certain parts, please let me kno cuz i want to start the cleaning asap.....thanks in advance and sorry for the long story

anybody ever took the motor out then attempt to remove the crank pulley bolt......cuz i did so is it possible to remove it.......other than the special tools is there other method to removing that bolt?....i cant use the starter.....like i said the motor is already out the car...let me kno

engine shampoo.. it is aright to soak an engine. just make sure the distributor is coverd and all hoses and passage ways into the engine are plugged. spray it with engine shampoo, let it sit for a bit, then pressure wash it.
